ABOUT KINGSWAY COLLEGE

Kingsway College is a private, Christian, boarding and day, co-ed high school (Grades 9-12). It is located in Oshawa, Ontario and is owned and operated by the Seventh-day Adventist Church. Our mission is to reflect Jesus Christ and prepare students for His service. Our program is designed to develop the whole person, focusing on the academic, spiritual, physical, and social aspects of the student.

A SHORT HISTORY OF KINGSWAY COLLEGE

Kingsway College’s history began in the fall of 1903 in Lorne Park, a beautiful fruit farming area fifteen miles west of Toronto. By 1911, larger buildings and more equipment were necessary to meet the needs of the growing student body, and after some deliberation, the present site in Oshawa was chosen. The school, renamed Buena Vista Academy because of the beautiful view of Oshawa and Lake Ontario, opened in the fall of 1912.  That year the school was conducted in temporary quarters because the new site had only one stone house and two barns.

THE KINGSWAY SPIRITUAL EXPERIENCE

Seventh-day Adventists accept the Bible as their only creed and hold certain fundamental beliefs to be the teaching of the Holy Scriptures.

WE BELIEVE:  

• The Holy Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments are fully inspired by God and are the one final authority for faith and practice.
• There is one God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, a unity of three co-eternal Persons.
• Man and woman were made in the image of God with individuality, the power and freedom to think and to do.
• After the six days of Creation, God rested on the seventh day and established the Sabbath for all people as a memorial of Creation.
• All humanity is now involved in a great controversy between Christ and Satan regarding the character of God, His law, and His sovereignty over the universe.
• In Christ's life of perfect obedience to God's will, His suffering, death, and resurrection, God provided the only means of atonement for human sin, so that those who by faith accept this atonement may have eternal life. 
• By His death on the cross Jesus triumphed over the forces of evil.  
• We are called to be godly people who think, feel, and act in in harmony with the principles of heaven.
• The second coming of Christ is the blessed hope of the church, the grand climax of the gospel.
